Were people ducking the ropes into alpine terrain? According to the site those trails are closed. Bullshit that they close the terrain when you can hit the traverse over to the b somewhat easily

last two years it seems like we just had rapid melting without real overnight freezes, that will shut down pali in a hurry. I was definitely hiking east wall into may last season even with a warm...

copper has no more secrets, even the powerlines get skied the fuck up. mostly by lazy snowboarders who start traversing out the moment they get in there.

I actually thought copper had some really good skiing today. Some places had that hard crunch underneath but where you could still find it untouched it was really nice, even some shots off of chief...

I mean apres does hit different on a warm sunny day

slushfest in zuma bowl this afternoon. was having more fun on the cold chalky snow on the face though, gotta get that in while we can I feel like.

damn thats a lot of snow on the basin snow stake and it is not slowing down

Anyone ski copper today? Wondering if anything didn’t end up opening.

Was trying to get out for a few laps before work but just couldn’t make it happen.

I mean I don't think anyone I work with even skis/ snowboards. I do not get it.

Hit some quick laps at the basin before work. Pali skied a little weird up top with some wind fuck. Beavers and zuma bowl were excellent, felt good to switch it up.

Parking wasn’t even full at...

I bought an ikon and an abasin this season so won’t have to do that again at least I guess. Though I was not planning to do that again next season, not making great use of the ikon. Although I am...

Parking reservations, more paid parking and Those cheeseburger prices oh lord

I love this, going to start using that

seems like the refresh is coming and much needed, bulk of it has to come on a saturday though huh?

I have to go to denver for work tomorrow, mostly be sitting in classes but looking forward to getting to walk around in some warm weather too.

Basin is still holding up pretty good, even zuma bowl...

I feel like I remember in 15/16 there being a cloudy and benign february after a real snowy january. like didn't see the sun, idk why that one seems to stick out to me and I could even be wrong on...

rode copper today, caught openings to cache glade and a bit out on west ridge for a lap. no tucker running.

amazing what a weekend crowd can do to spaulding and union peak. just traverse tracks...

Did anyone go to Copper and ski Tucker today? Wondering what all they got open off there today. Also am I reading correctly there is no CRP or access from Lillie G to get to the backside?

per als blog no cornice, sounds like theres some work to do over there yet. they opened out to the 14ers.

Looks like abasin parking lots filled today. People must be stoked on zuma opening. Here come the ikonic weekends

got in 2 hours at the basin this morning. so good, like the others had said.

The basin was an all around adventure today, from the driving to the skiing. A few really great laps were had for sure after finding your way through the blowing snow. I've certainly never skied bear...

Hopefully less wind and more lifts can spin. Won’t be able to get out til Monday so I’m hoping snow keeps up through tomorrow night.

Looks like lots of lifts closed at copper, even Alpine for...

Damn

Anyone try skiing today?

Felt great to rip turns down the spine and face. No bumps in Main Street made that ski about as good as it gets. Stellar morning!

Made it up to the basin for some Pali laps before work. Slalom slope was real wind affected and was not the easiest of skiing but still nice in spots. Challenger/ radical kind of area was really...

some soft turns to be found in places at copper but overall conditions there are pretty grim after the holiday crowds had their way with the mountain. so while I'm hyped on this storm its like man it...

fair, lol. been skiing over rocks, trees and stumps at copper. or just barely off groomers at the basin because well, yeah. we'll see, tentative plans in the works as I need some soft snow and free...

looking like steamboat should pick more up this week too, thinking I might ditch work wenesday and go for a little day trip if this pans out at least relatively well. I am assuming the base there is...

steamboat looks to be getting it pretty good again.

Very cool who knew

I’m not sure what’s going on but the snow summary on open snow says 0-1 next few days and nights but the Joel’s write up says 2-5 for copper today and tonight.

I’d highly doubt copper is trying...

It's more like he is saying it's going to snow but doesn't want to admit it may not do much of anything useful, for summit/ copper/ vail forecasts, because I imagine that would be bad for biz. or...

Last week I was going to the top of bmx and then having to skate past the top ramp to get over Len from Pali. It's pretty annoying when all they have to do is move two friggin tubes, like how hard...

looks good for the southern mountains at least

theres fun to be had at copper but between the crowds and firmness of the snow the groomers are not that enjoyable to me at the moment. Golddigger...

Maybe something in a week??

I did a couple laps on Davis yesterday afternoon. Wasn’t terrible I guess. They had the groomer on that trail leading up to opening it so wasn’t pow or anything but also not a sheet of ice. Yet.

copper skied great today, this little bit of consistent snow we have been able to pick up has done wonders up there. lots of great fresh soft snow off sierra for lap after lap this morning. They...

nice, a double chair to yourself with soft snow is about as good as it gets.

looks like its dumping pretty good at the boat right now

Let’s hope not. Even a little bit to soften things up a touch would be something to help at the moment. Rougher by the day out there.

according to open snow a basin is at 55" on the season since oct 1 and at 62% of normal snow pack. now this isn't official resort data but should be close enough. some snow would be great

480233

it skis like even less

had fun ripping some super thin bump runs off timberline at copper yesterday. I may have been scraping rocks and tree branches and put a little shot in my ski but it was...

Things are quite firm out there need a Christmas miracle

Seems like the racers are done at copper and the runs off the B are open now. Very firm and fast out there this morning for some pre work laps.

Well. Sounds like it happened. Ah well.

Patrol was working to get Len Parks open when Lenawee went on wind hold. Didn’t stick around to wait and see if it would open back up.

I have such mixed feelings about the whole early season race thing at copper but it really messes up the whole big side. When I was at copper last Monday I did not see them blowing anything over off...

I definitely misread that snow stake, their time lapse thing messes me up sometimes.

anyways also hoping the heavy part of the storm comes in as forecasted and that this will allow for some new...

Storm looks like it has been pretty good to copper so far, less so to the other summit county areas

was fun to have light crowds at copper today and be able to open up the throttle a bit. andy's encore looks about ready.
